Apktool 1.4.0

Prerequisites

• Upgrade Apktool to v1.4.0
• update install package to r04-brut1 or update your aapt manually
  • then remove $HOME/apktool/framework/1.apk or install your own framework from Honeycomb/Gingerbread

Changes

• Added Honeycomb support (3.1, API 12).
  • support for mipmaps and xlarge, xhdpi resource qualifiers
  • updated builtin framework to 3.1 (API 12)
• completely rewritten mechanism of enclosing/escaping strings in XML files:
  • fixed legendary #211 bug
  • fixed a lot of other bugs discovered when writing integration tests
  • string format is simpler and more compact now:   instead of \u0020, " instead of \", etc.
• fixed incompatibilities between newer aapt and apks built by older one.
  • New aapt is more restrictive, some apps can't be built using it, even if you would have sources.
  • Apktool tries to convert/fix these incompatibilities: it adds formatted="false" for <string /> tags and enumerates substitutions for plurals.
• updated smali to v1.2.6
• added automatic integration tests for resource decoding and building
• first official release of apktool built using Maven from open source
• sort framework ids before storing them in apktool.yml.
  • aapt command requires you to include frameworks in order.
• zero-padding of MCC resource qualifier
• prefer to use raw values when decoding XML attrs.
  • This could make decoded XMLs a little more similar to original ones.
• close apktool.yml file handler after generating it
• added error message about missing input file when decoding
• added more info messages during decoding.
• do not decode res-references as <item />.
  • Now they're decoded as e.g. <string name="test">@android:string/ok</string> instead of <item type="string" name="test">@android:string/ok</item>.
• changed encoding of generated XML files from UTF-8 to utf-8 - it's more consistent with Android SDK
• add new line at the end of generated XML files.
